[PATCH 22/23] x86/cpufeatures: Add the Virtual SPEC_CTRL feature

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxx>

Newer AMD processors have a feature to virtualize the use of the
SPEC_CTRL MSR. Presence of this feature is indicated via CPUID
function 0x8000000A_EDX[20]: GuestSpecCtrl. When present, the
SPEC_CTRL MSR is automatically virtualized.
